Love the song Limbolizard, I should have replied way long ago.

After much time, and it does take time to arrange to get the equipment and help together to fetch a log of this size, I was able to get this log to my home. The canoe will be carved out of the one I am standing on (middle one) in the below photo. I think the hardest part of this idea is over, actually getting the log, now just the carving remains (just, ha ha), which can happen little by little over time. The log is shorter than I originally wanted, but had to scale down due the weight of the log, this one weighed well over two tons.
